About This Event
BAPCO 2026 brings together the UK and international emergency services communications community to explore the technologies, strategies, and people shaping the future of mission-critical communications.
Across two days, the conference will examine how emergency services are adapting to an increasingly complex operational landscape - from major incidents and large-scale public emergencies, to everyday resilience, interoperability, and frontline efficiency. The programme will feature senior leaders, practitioners, and technical experts sharing real-world experience, lessons learned, and practical insight from live operational environments.
Key themes for 2026 include mission-critical communications and data, control room innovation, ESN and network resilience, AI and automation, cyber security, workforce wellbeing, and learning from major incidents. Sessions will focus on how technology, governance, and collaboration can support safer, faster, and more effective responses when it matters most.
With a strong emphasis on operational relevance and peer-to-peer learning, BAPCO 2026 provides a vital platform for emergency services, government, industry, and partners to connect, share best practice, and help shape the future of public safety communications.
